"Then who's going to drive you two home?"Jeremy turned around and called his niece, "Annie, come here.""Coming!" She walked over to them, and Jeremy threw his car keys at her."Pull the car over," he ordered.Annie only had some juice and some soft drinks that night. She did not dare to touch the wine, not when Jeremy watched her like a hawk.After she caught the car keys, she rolled her eyes. "You only think of me whenever you want someone to be your minion.""Cut the crap. It's howling outside, so pull the car to the lobby.""Fine…" She then went out to get the car.Annie knew Jeremy was worried about Corinne catching a cold. 'Well, I should be glad that a fool like my uncle has changed for the better after meeting his true love. I guess all that worrying about him dying alone was for nothing.'She pulled the car into the lobby and honked twice to let Jeremy know she had arrived.After bidding the rest of the guests goodbye, Jeremy steered Corinne to where the car was his

Corinne cut Anya off with a yawn and said nonchalantly, "You said it yourself. Joey's adopted, so he's not your son in the biological sense. And from what I heard, you were the one who begged Jeremy to adopt that kid with you, and you also promised he wouldn't have to do anything else after that."You should take up all the responsibility when that kid is concerned. Isn't it enough for you that Jeremy, out of the kindness in his heart, had been helping you to take care of Joey all this time? I mean, he had every right to ignore your pleas for help. I should warn you, Miss Anya, you're not entitled to any of Jeremy's help, and if you think you are…then you should do some self-reflection."Knowing that she could not win an argument against Corinne, Anya resorted to using her signature act. "But Corinne, I just…just wanted Jeremy to check on poor Joey. Why do you insist on making me out to be the bad guy here?" she asked tearfully.Corinne smilingly stepped forward and roughly lifted A

"If you need help in the future, you should come to me instead of Jeremy. I'm sure you wouldn't like someone else being intimate with your husband too, would you, Miss Anya?" asked Corinne lightly.It was hard to find fault in Corinne's words.She then lifted Anya's hand and put the bracelet back on her wrist. "So that settles it then, right? You'll come to me if you need any help. Us girls should stick to each other instead of letting a man come between us."Anya knew letting Corinne put the bracelet back on her was as good as agreeing to her arrangement. 'Why, this sneaky little b*tch! Not only did she cut off all possible reasons for me to contact Jeremy, but she makes herself look like the good guy, too!'Corinne was exhausted by then, so after helping Anya put her bracelet back on, she stretched her arms and yawned sleepily. "Let's go, Mister. I can't wait to go home and sleep!""Okay," said Jeremy, having smiled throughout the squabble between Corinne and Anya. 'Goodness, sh

Anya looked at Jason innocently. "Jason, do you have a crush on Corinne?""What makes you think that?" asked Jason, a little stunned."When I came downstairs, I happened to see you cropped out Corinne from the group photo and saved it to your private album. Only someone who has a crush on someone else would do something like that."Jason was a little taken aback, but he decided to come clean. "Yes, I do have a crush on her, but there's nothing I can do about it now. After all, she's married."Anya shook her head. "You'll find a way if you like someone enough. We should team up."Jason looked thoughtfully at Anya. Suddenly, he smiled. "What do you have in mind?"…In the car.Annie was driving and really getting into the rock and roll music she was playing on the car speaker while Corinne and Jeremy sat at the back, their hands still tightly locked together.With his other hand, Jeremy stroked Corinne's head while saying, "Thank you for standing up for me just now. I enjoyed th

Jeremy was amused by Corinne. "You're amazing. I feel so safe knowing you're here to protect me."Corinne glared at him. "What are you laughing about? I'm being serious! I'll kill anyone who dares to bully my husband."Jeremy was a little stunned but, at the same time, pleased by how protective Corinne was toward him. He pecked her lips and, holding her face in both of his hands, said, "You don't have to worry about anything. That all happened a long time ago. I promise you won't become a widow."Corinne blushed from the sudden kiss and buried her head into his chest. "How can you kiss me when I was being serious? That's not fair at all!"Jeremy smiled and tousled up her hair. "I'm sorry. I'll try to hold it next time."Corinne did not say anything more and snuggled closer to him. After calming down, she started to think back to what Jeremy said.A little town near the Great Canyon… She had been there before.When she was little, she went with Mother Cathrina—a nun from the conv

Corinne snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Jeremy in disbelief.'So we met a long time ago, and I was the one who saved his life!' thought Corinne. She remembered how young he looked then, and though he was a little bit worse for the wear from his injuries, he still looked very handsome. It was not hard to figure out why she did not recognize him since he had matured, built up a muscular frame, and became colder in demeanor."Why are you looking at me like that? Is something on my face?" asked Jeremy with a frown when she did not say anything.Corinne blinked and nodded. "Yeah, there is."Jeremy raised his brow. "What is it? Get it off for me."Corinne shook her head. "I can't.""Why not?""Because I'm talking about your handsome looks," answered Corinne with a straight face.Jeremy did not know whether to laugh or cry at that. He leaned down and touched the tip of her nose with his own. "Oh, really? Does it make you want to kiss me?"Corinne was speechless. 'He's like

Jeremy was raging at Bowen just a second ago, yet he spoke so gently to Corinne a second later.Corinne yawned and answered, "That's why I thought she should learn. You can see it as training her to be someone's wife in the future.""Yes, you're right. It's time for her to learn all this," said Jeremy while stroking her head.Bowen was floored. "When did Mister Jeremy become a man with no principles?"The smile faded from Jeremy's face as soon as he turned around to face Bowen. "Where is she? Tell her to come see me this instant!""Miss Francine is washing the dishes in the kitchen…"Suddenly, they all heard an ear-splitting crash coming from the kitchen."I'll go get her now," said Bowen quickly before running into the kitchen.A while later, Francine came out of the kitchen with a defeated look. "Oh hey, Jeremy. You're back."Jeremy looked her up and down. He could feel a headache coming. "What about greeting your sister-in-law, too?" he asked coldly.Only then did Francine

Corinne smiled indifferently at Francine. 'Man, she really doesn't know when to stop, huh.'"Francine, the only reason I'm being nice to you is because you're Jeremy's sister. That doesn't mean I won't get rid of you when push comes to shove," threatened Corinne.Displeased that she was threatened, Francine slammed her fork on the table. "Hmph! And just how are you going to get rid of me? Have Jeremy send me away to live with my mom? Corinne, you'll be nothing without my brother!""Having you send away will be my last resort. Before things come to that, I have a hundred different ways to make your life very difficult.""Hahaha! A hundred different ways, huh? You make me laugh! Why don't you list them out, and I'll save you the trouble of telling you which one won't work on me."Corinne smiled. "For example, I can post your SAT scores on your university's bulletin board. I wonder what your classmates will think of you once they find out you only got into the university because your

Sherman could not help but feel fearful when he recalled the incident.Rita gently smoothed his furrowed brow. "I knew you'd come to rescue me, just like all the times you did. I love you, Sherman."Previously, Rita confessed her love to him when she was groggy. At this moment, however, she was clearly awake, even sporting a faint smile on her face as she confessed.Sherman immediately blushed. "I love you, too."Rita did not stay long in the hospital; she quickly returned to the Parr family's mansion. Just as Sherman's grandparents had said, Rita did not have any major injuries, so there was no need for her to stay in the hospital that long. In fact, she might even recover faster emotionally under the care at home.Not once did Sherman bring up Rita's job, but she surprisingly resigned from New Capital Times on her own accord. It would be difficult for her to investigate cases with her current condition; not to mention Sherman had handed over the evidence to the police. The polic

"Sherman, I like you. I love you," Rita finally confessed.Sherman, deeply pained, pulled Rita into his arms. "This is all my fault. I should've looked for you quicker. I've never blamed you. All I want is to see you smile. It's enough for me as long as you're willing to let me stay by your side."You don't have to confess to me. I know it's hard for you to do that because of your family. I've seen the way they've treated you, and…"The bodyguards who had barged in with Sherman felt a bit awkward to see their company president in tears. However, the priority was to get Rita to the hospital for a check-up. Being tied up for hours could cause circulation issues, and it could be dangerous if her limbs did not regain feelings soon.In the end, they got the bravest among them to convince Sherman to let them take Rita to the hospital. Instead of letting them do it, Sherman wiped away his tears and, with ease, lifted Rita as if she was as light as a feather.Fortunately, after the hospit

With that, Karen left without looking back. She was carrying Vince's baby in her womb, so how could she pin all her hopes on Sadie? Since Sadie was obviously unruly, she would have to rely on her son.'Sadie can spend the rest of her life with Esmond since she likes him so much. God knows it had been exhausting enough to raise her. Plus, it's only fair for Esmond to take care of her since I've done my part taking care of her until now,' thought Karen.Meanwhile, the only consolation for Sherman was that Esmond did not try to put up a fight. It seemed that he still cared about his daughter Sadie.Sherman led his men to a dilapidated house. Esmond had been cautious enough to choose a rundown house situated at the end of a village.When Sherman barged in, he found Rita lying on the floor while Esmond's men ignored her. Esmond's men had followed his orders, and since he did not instruct them to do anything to Rita, they left her well alone.Before the men could react, they were surrou

Karen cried and silently knelt by Sadie's side without trying to defend herself. Sadie, on the other hand, feebly tried to explain herself. Alas. Vince refused to listen.There had been many occasions before when he had chosen to believe Karen and Sadie, but at this moment, he realized he had been terribly wrong to do that.Rita used to be so kind, understanding, and well-behaved. However, ever since Karen and Sadie moved in, Vince felt like his daughter had become manipulative, always trying to compete for attention, and stirring up jealousy in front of him.Unfortunately, it took Rita's disappearance to make Vince realize that Rita was not trying to compete for attention. All Rita wanted from him was to treat her the same as Sadie.Vince used to think that Rita should give in to Sadie more since Sadie was younger, too."Why don't you go live with your biological father since you prefer him so much? I never want to see you show your face around here anymore! As for your mother, s

Sadie was so anxious that she wanted to jump out. "Mom, don't tell me you fell for it! Why did you call Esmond? Now they all know where Rita is. You've ruined everything, again! What were you thinking?"Karen could not care less. She cried and slapped Sadie. "You nearly scared me to death! What would I do if something happened to you? I didn't raise you just to watch you die. I told you not to meet up with Esmond, so why did you secretly meet up with him? How can you ask him to get rid of Rita?"Are you out of your mind? All I want is for us to live out the rest of our lives peacefully, so why didn't you listen to me?!"Sadie was furious. Karen had stopped trying to get rid of Rita ever since she got pregnant, so how could Sadie not be angry? Rita was like a thorn in her side, and Sadie would never be happy unless Rita was dead."Don't you know I like Sherman? How could you ask me to do nothing when Rita has stolen him from me?! I was the one who liked him first. It's either Rita g

Karen wanted so badly to slap Esmond through the phone.'What good are his pompous words now? We wouldn't be in this mess now if he hadn't hit me back then! What's more, he's saying he's doing this for Sadie. But has he ever thought of what would happen to me and Sadie if he got rid of Rita? Rita's the heiress of the Russell family. Not to mention, she's married to Sherman, so that makes her owner of Parr Group too! What makes Esmond think he can get rid of Rita so easily?'Karen's breath was ragged as she said, "If you don't believe me, just listen to your daughter's screams. I can't save her now; you will literally decide her fate! Plus, I'm pregnant with Vince's baby, so even if I lose Sadie, I still have a kid—which is more than what I can say about you!"Sherman could not help but be impressed by Karen a little. Even in this dire situation, she did not forget to express her heartfelt feelings to Vince, letting him know that she was always on his side. It was certainly not an ea

"Sherman raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry, I'm sure it's just a minor injury, maybe just a finger. There shouldn't be any major issues. A sprained joint takes only a hundred days to heal, and it might take her even less time to heal if you take very good care of her while she's recuperating."Karen's heart ached upon hearing that. She lunged toward Sherman, wanting to hit him, but the bodyguards stopped her before she could get close.Vince, still worried, held Karen tightly beside him. "Calm down. I'm sure Sadie will come out unharmed if Rita's kidnapping has nothing to do with her. But if it does, then you should know very well that…"Vince's voice dropped an octave. He could not believe his daughter's disappearance had anything to do with his stepdaughter. However, he was not utterly naive.He continued, "How could a girl like her take Rita away? Even the car window was smashed. Others must've been involved. Does her biological father have anything to do with it?"Sherman nodded
The Day I Kissed An Older Man Chapter 2931
"Yes, it's true I met up with my biological father, but it was just a one-time thing. I don't want to go back to him at all! Otherwise, I would've done it ages ago. Dad, I'm really grateful to you for taking me in and looking after me all these years. That's why I feel like you're my real father, even more real than those who share the same blood."How could you unjustly accuse me and Mom like that? Sherman is the one spouting nonsense here. He's trying to push all the blame onto us. Dad, you have to wake up and see the truth!"Karen nodded along, but her heart was racing. 'When did Sadie meet Esmond? How did Sherman know when I don't even know? Seems like Sadie does have something to do with Rita's kidnapping. I have to settle things and get Sherman out of here.'Karen never had the thought of rekindling her relationship with Esmond. The only thing she wanted then was to peacefully give birth to her son. Everything in the Russell family would eventually go to her son, and she would

Sherman detested people pointing their fingers at him when they spoke. He stood up slowly, towering over Vince instantly."You claim to be Rita's father, yet if I were you, I'd choose to shut up and stand aside. I can't believe you're scolding me for threatening Sadie when she's not even your real daughter!"Look at her guilty expression; it's clear she's involved. If you don't believe me, use your brain a little. No wonder Russell Group is declining under your leadership. It's only a matter of time before the company goes completely bankrupt!"Sherman showed no mercy, causing Vince to retreat with every word. Vince clutched his chest, struggling for breath.Karen, despite her weakness, stepped forward to support him. "How could you speak to your father-in-law like this? What has Sadie done to offend you? She has nothing but admiration for you. Plus, she's just a child. How could you treat her like this?"She went on and on, but Sherman stood his ground. Meanwhile, the burly bodyg
